Finance – Governments and households
By fabi
The UNESCO GEM Report highlights the challenges and disparities in global education financing. One-third of countries haven’t met the recommended education finance benchmarks, leading to inequitable outcomes. Low-income nations bear a disproportionate share of education costs, with households often covering significant portions. The report stresses the need for increased, equitable funding to achieve SDG 4, urging for timely, comprehensive data on education spending across all countries to inform better policy and aid distribution.
